Being paid is not enough. Some want to win and put themselves in the best chance to win a Super Bowl. I agree that Houston can decide when and if they want to trade him, but he does get to dictate where he goes. I’m not one to agree that players shouldn’t have any say in a situation like this especially when the brass said they would keep him in the loop.

I know Watson wants to win, but if he wanted to keep his options open, he shouldn't have signed a 4 year contract with guaranteed money. IMO, you shouldn't get to have it both ways. Once you sign a long-term contract, you should shut up and play. If you want to keep your options open, only sign 1 year dealsOriginally Posted by banded_mallard

It’s not that easy. There isn’t a team in the NFL that would sign a one year contract with a 3 time pro bowler that is as young as he is. That would give him to much leverage.
But for shits and giggles I’ll play. If he didn’t sign the contract he has less leverage now. He would have no trade clause, so they could send him anywhere. If I wanted out, I would do exactly what he did. Get my guaranteed money and request a trade. Now I get my money and I get to pick who I’m traded to. Only downfall is they could refuse. My question is could he pay the 21 million penalty , “retire” and become a free agent. If he chose to do that.
Not saying I would agree with it, just curious as to if that would be an option.
